I have a friend of mine who keeps on trying to analyse me because I am
very interested in everything technology and not so much in anything
people related. He came up with the theory that my love of technology is
a symptom or an effect from some deep rooted cause... and for years he
is trying to find it. I always thought he was a bit funny in the head,
but this Zeus thing... I think he may be on to something here... :)

Yes, I do something different every day and learn new things.  As a  
dentist
I am not sure the job would be very interesting.  Also engineering is  
like being
Zeus...... creating something from thin air almost.
